ShowingImportancePrizesTopicMagnetic monopoles1 claim

Hypothetical particles carrying isolated magnetic charge, predicted in grand unified theories; covers their existence, searches, production (cosmic rays, early universe, accelerators), the Rubakov-Callan effect, and properties such as mass and charge.

Magnetic monopoles cannot catalyze proton decay at a rate that threatens Earth.
